Genetic Disorder Brochure Project Due March 7, 2014 Overview Create a tri-fold brochure for a doctor’s office waiting room. The brochure should provide patients with information about one of the genetic disorders listed below. Assume that most of the patients of your audience are adults with a typical high school science background. The brochure should be creative as well as informative. You want people to pick it up and read through it. Be sure to include accurate, up-to-date information and graphics that illustrate important ideas. You should reference at least four sources of information on a separate “works cited” page to hand in along with your brochure. Brochure After researching the disorder, make an informational pamphlet that could be given to patients. The pamphlet must be no larger than 8.5 x 11 unfolded. It must fully inform the reader of all issues pertaining to the genetic disorder. Your brochure will be graded based on accuracy, completeness, and creativity. Visual representations (pictures, graphs, etc.) should be incorporated into the brochure. Give credit for graphics you did not make. Works Cited Page You will need to prepare, on a separate sheet, a works cited page that identifies all sources used to make the brochure. At least four sources are required for this project. More than four is acceptable, and encouraged! (Be sure to use proper format; do not just list websites, list author, title, date, etc.) Here is an example of how you record your reference: Huntington’s Disease Society of America website, Living with Huntington’s, article by Pat Pillis. Possible Internet Resources Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man Center for Disease Control Genetic Information International Birth Defects Information Systems National Center for Biotechnology Information Genetic Alliance Howard Hughes Medical Institute National Institute of Health Office of Rare Diseases Genetics Education Center Research You will research the genetic disorder you were assigned and use the following layout as a guide for your brochure. Page 1 o Left Hand Column Treatments/Cures Current status of research Treatments Cures A graphic is optional o Middle Column Include your name Include date Include your class period A graphic is optional o Right Hand Column Include a descriptive title (Name of Disorder/Disease) Very Brief Description A graphic is required Page 2 o Left Hand Column Describe the disorder Cause What gene or chromosome affected Symptoms Other names A graphic is optional in this column, but there must be at least one graphic in one of the columns on page 2 o Middle Column How is it inherited What population is affected/who is a candidate Can the individual have offspring/How will they be affected Type of medical assistance needed Life expectancy A graphic is optional in this column, but there must be at least one graphic in one of the columns on page 2 o Right Hand Column Are there prenatal tests Could the disorder be prevented Rubric Works Cited _______ of 20 4 properly cited sources x 5 points Layout _______ of 30 6 complete panels x 5 points Graphics _______ of 10 2 graphics x 5 points Information _______ of 40 Accurate – 5 points/panel x 6 panels Creative – 10 points
